1976 Ericson35 Fresh Water Tank
- Thread starter Ericson35

IF..... there is a T in the exit line fitting at the tank and you can open a small valve and empty it into the bilge, that will work, but is rarely found.
I use a small centrifugal pump with a 6' discharge hose, dropped into out 38 gal. tank thru a clean-out port and rapidly move 90% of the water over to the galley sink.
Why? To save unwanted wear on the $200. + electric fresh water pressure pump.
Is the present tank stock? Any access via a clean-out port?

I could just siphon mine into the bilge, if desired. But it empties itself every few months by regular use.
I use no treatment of any kind, but the water has always been palatable. On my model cleanout/inspection is easy through a large hatch on the 40-gallon settee tank. The 30-gallon bow tank is less accessible.
